Biography

Maisa Silva is one of the most emblematic figures of contemporary Brazilian pop culture. Her artistic career began early in 2005, when she was discovered on Raul Gil's show, where she already demonstrated her performance talent by lip-syncing to hits by groups like Rouge and artists like Ivete Sangalo. She quickly became a ratings phenomenon on SBT under the guidance of Silvio Santos, combining charisma and spontaneity in hosting children's and variety shows.

In music, Maisa cemented her presence with her debut album "Tudo que Me Vem na Cabeça" (2009), which received a gold certification and featured major guest appearances, such as the sertanejo duo Jorge & Mateus and presenter Eliana. The project was aimed at a children's audience, cementing her image as her generation's top child star in Brazil.

In 2014, she began a transition to a teenage audience with the release of the EP "Eu Cresci!", which spawned the viral hit "NheNheNhem", reaching the top of the country's streaming charts. In addition to her musical facet, Maisa built a solid acting career in highly successful productions like "Carrossel" and the series "De Volta aos 15", as well as becoming an influential communicator and UNICEF ambassador.
